Indestructible Nylon Figure 8 Lifting Straps

Nylon Figure 8 Lifting Straps: the ultimate evolution for the deadlift

The figure-8 design (Figure 8 lifting straps) is the king of accessories for securing a grip irrevocably. If you lose your grip, the strap holds the bar. But for this accessory to be perfect, it must be neither too bulky nor too big.

You spoke, we listened. We took our classic nylon model, kept its legendary strength and comfort. Then completely redesigned its pattern to create the ultimate lifting strap.

📏 Size guide ⚠️

Our new figure-8 straps have been adjusted to provide better support. The choice of size depends on your wrist circumference, but also on how you use your straps.

✅ Recommended method: straps on the outer sides of the hands

We recommend positioning the straps outside each hand, on the side of the plates, to maintain a direct grip on the bar while benefiting from excellent support.

For this use, measure the circumference of your wrist using a tape measure (or a piece of string that you then measure with a ruler).

🤏 Small Size: up to 17.5 cm wrist circumference included.

💪 Classic Size: over 17.5 cm wrist circumference.

Important: if your wrist circumference measures exactly 17.5 cm, choose size Small.

🔥 Advanced method: straps placed in the hand

Some experienced lifters, especially in strongman, prefer to position the straps in the grip area in order to hold the bar with the fingertips, rather than with a classic full-hand grip.

For this particular technique, we recommend size Small to achieve a shorter fit.

⚠️ This technique is intended for experienced lifters. Make sure the straps can be positioned correctly without excessive compression of the wrist, and test their placement with a light load before any heavy attempt.

💀 Warrior Gear Tip: for the majority of users, opt for straps positioned on the outer sides of the hands and choose your size based on your wrist circumference.

🛡️ Double-Thickness Nylon (2-Ply): always indestructible

The core of this new strap is still made from a double layer of ultra-dense nylon. It's the go-to technical material for powerlifting, offering absolute mechanical stability with zero deformation under load.

The figure-8 crossover point is heavily stitched, making this pair of straps virtually indestructible. Whether you're pulling 200, 300 or 400 kilos on the deadlift, the shrug or an Axle Bar.

☁️ Slimmer profile and comfort Neoprene retained

Pulling record weights always puts heavy strain on the wrists. That’s why we have of course retained the thick neoprene padding inside the loops, which softens the contact under tension and lets you focus 100% on your pull.

The real revolution lies in the structure of the strap itself: its profile has been slimmed down. The old version was sometimes considered too thick under the fingers. This new nylon model is less bulky, giving you a much more natural grip and bringing you as close as possible to raw contact with the steel.

📏 Rethought dimensions for direct support

Following your feedback, we fixed the major flaw of the old figure-8 straps on the market: their size was too large.

A strap that is too large creates empty space. The bar “floats” at your fingertips, which lengthens your range of motion and degrades your mechanical leverage. We have deliberately reduced the dimensions of our straps. This new fitted pattern eliminates all “play”. Tension is immediate from the moment you break the bar off the floor.

⚫ Full Black “Lift or Die” finish

A stealthy, pro and hardcore look. The straps feature a design Full Black in braided nylon, subtly enhanced by our white embroidered patch LIFT OR DIE Warrior Gear.
